Global vegetable oil markets remain under pressure from shifting supply routes caused by the US-China trade war, but sunflower oil prices are rising amid lower crop forecasts in Ukraine and the EU.   Analysts at Oil World (Germany) predict an increase in global imports of eight main types of vegetable oils in the 2025/26 MY by 3.1 million tons to 94.5 million tons compared to the previous season.   At the same time, thanks to active demand from the USA, Indonesia and...

Improved weather conditions in Ukraine allowed for an increase in sunflower harvest rates last week, slightly alleviating concerns among processors about seed volumes and quality. At the same time, purchase prices remained high due to strong demand for sunflower oil.   As of October 16, 7.19 million tons of sunflower were harvested from 76% of the area (+10% per week) or 3.91 million hectares in Ukraine, with an average yield of 1.84 tons/hectare, while last year on this date, 9.3...

The cessation of prolonged rainfall in Ukraine has accelerated the harvest of sunflower and soybeans, but due to high humidity and farmers' efforts to harvest sunflower first, the harvest of corn is slow, which continues to delay deliveries to the port and keeps purchase prices high.   As of October 16, 4.913 million tons of corn were harvested in Ukraine from 21% of the area (+6% per week) or 895 thousand hectares of area with a yield of 5.49 tons/hectare, although last year at...

The large volume of American soybeans that China refuses to buy continues its expansion into other markets and creates competitive pressure on Ukrainian soybean prices.   Problems with payment of duties by producers remain, as customs officers, in order to speed up clearance, offer to pay a 10% duty as a guarantee payment while the documents are being processed, so farmers are in no hurry to sell soybeans and rapeseed for export, waiting for these issues to be...

Last week, both the global and Ukrainian wheat markets saw a decline in demand amid expectations of an increase in the supply of wheat and feed corn.   During the week, export demand prices for wheat in Ukraine remained at the level of 10,300–10,500 UAH/t (or $218–221/t) for food wheat and 9,650–9,850 UAH/t (or $206–207/t) for feed wheat with delivery to Black Sea ports.   In the 2025/26 MY (as of October 17), Ukraine exported 5.61 million tons of...

Chinese analysts believe that the increase in vegetable oil supply will increase uncertainty in the market. Palm oil consumption in Malaysia is difficult to predict, and the US cannot decide on its biodiesel policy. Domestic trade in rapeseed oil will also be limited, as the volume and timing of Australian rapeseed supplies are unknown.   The September report of the MPO surprised with a sharp drop in domestic demand for palm oil in Malaysia to 330 thousand tons, due to which stocks...
